So nice to see another fan of that Clarins Redwood. It’s a beautiful color, and one of my top five now, too. (We must have similar coloring; I like all your other choices also, and ditto on the Caramel Kiss.) My other four would be:

Do you know whether Maybelline Caramel Kiss Lipstick is still on shops or not? And the rest of them? Or at least some very similar ones. Some of them aren’t very affordable for me.
I love all of them!!

I’m surprised that most of these are pink, not coral, since you sound like coral fanatic girl (according to most of your posts).

Guerlain Giulette has been on my wishlist for long, but I didn’t manage to grab one coz I wear bright color occasionally, not often, so I’d rather go for nude or pink when it comes to luxury product (such as Guerlain Gabrielle, CdP T1, or CdP 106).

I don’t know why, but I always like to read your post that show what product is your favorite(s). So please keep on posting when you have time 😀

I so wanna buy the Bobbi Brown Soft Coral, thank goodness it’s permanent unlike the Lilac which I don’t really need anyway. But I just bought the Givenchy Candide Tangerine and I gotta slow down at some point man!! LOL 2011 has been the most lipstick-y year of my whole life. Recession man!

Do you find that the Maybelline lipstick has a strong odor? I bought it ages ago because I loved the color, but I find the smell completely unbearable — it smells like scented plastic. Other people don’t seem to mind, though, so I’m trying to figure out if I got an extra-stinky one or if I’m just really fussy about smells!

Some smell syrupy sweet (very synthetic) and others more like plastic – which tells me that they should smell sweet but that the scent doesn’t last long within a tube (it doesn’t mean the lipstick has turned, but perhaps the quality of the fragrance is lower).

I love macs supreme sheen lipstick in supremely confident! Although it’s super pale. It’s sheer and glossy enough so that it doesn’t look concealor like. It works on my nw15 skin well ad most nudes look orange brown on me

I just bought Cover Girl Rose Quartz yesterday (on clearance at Kroger and used a $1 off coupon, so I paid $1.50) and I LOVE this color. Its a beautiful bubble gum pink, not rose at all on me anyway with shimmer. Great price and I’m going back for a backup.

Funny, I was thinking about how I hadn’t used MAC’s Faux (and others, but this is the one I chose today) in such a long time because I’ve been tending to other lipsticks.

Since I saw Rose Dentelle (Chanel) on your swatch, I didn’t rest until I got it. I just knew it’d be the perfect pink and was I right! It’s my favorite and I have to restrain from just using it whenever I want a pink lipstick. 🙂

My favourites are
#1-Cle de Peau Extra Rich Lipstick in Red Abundance (Which I lost two weeks after I got it…so bummed…but it was the best lipstick I’ve ever used)
#2-Chanel Rouge Allure Laque in Coromandel (Lovely full-powered red!)
#3-MAC Ruby Woo (Began my love affair with red lipstick the instant I swiped it on when my mum wasn’t looking at age 12)

MW & Encarta are enough for me to feel comfortable in continuing to use the word lipsticks! “Lipsticks” is such a commonly used term within the industry that I have never seen it used without the “S.” This is a blog, which is informal and conversational. Funny enough, while researching, furnitures was part of standard English until the end of the 19th century. 🙂

The word ‘lipsticks’ is widely used in the industry because people do not know the correct grammar is actually singular and not plural. If you look online for example MAC site… when you shop for ‘Lipsticks’ …. it’s referred to as ‘Lipstick’.

I provided links to several reputable dictionaries, so if you would like to continue to debate grammar on a beauty blog, please provide a resource that explains your view. I would point out that if you shop on MAC’s website, they list product categories in the singular, not plural – powder, primer, foundation, shadow, liner, etc.

Merle Norman Age defying lipstick in Tangerine!
It’s a misleading name because it looks like a pinky-peach beige to me. I’m in my early twenties and don’t normally buy anti aging stuff, but this formula rocks! It feels like a silky lipbalm that leaves my lips plump and moist hours after it wears off. With such a dewy formula, you do have to reapply, but with the petite gold case with the raised letters MN on the cap, it is something I’m proud to pull out in public.

Bought my 1st Guerlain Rouge G Lipstick because of your swatches and reviews Christine. OMG you’re absolutely spot-on about how good they are! Now I own seven of them and love them all! Thanx for my new addiction ;oP
